Very easy. On the rare occasions that I played multiplayer, I remembered all the time that there is a person behind the virtual character in front of me, so why the hell I would attack him for no reason? Why? It can be a virtual character but it's still a person, why would I do something against him I would not want to do against me?
Now the psychopath does not think so. He takes pleasure in harming others, no matter if the person is real or virtual. And is just easier to do it in a virtual world where the police will not show up to put him in jail.
It is for reasons like this that I just do not waste my time playing multiplayer games. Most players are dickheads teenagers who have nothing better to do and little or no education.
Nothing illegal. Mundane things like computer equipment, some clothes, cars, and other items that are much cheaper abroad than in my country. (here you ALWAYS pay twice what a car is worth). But as you know, globalization only applies to businesses, to consumers what happens is feudalism.
That and the fact that governments actually do not like the idea of having people transferring money to each other through a system like Paypal, where they do not have the same control they have when payments are made by traditional means. Especially in my country where the government would prefer that the citizens would be prohibited from buying overseas.
Second on that. "Mercado Livre" is pure shit. As example, if you look closely at the page for registering complaints you will realize that they only care about situations which can harm their profits, you can not even complain about other situations.
Wrong, you NEED to care. Because the best way to do work on a desktop is still the old-fashioned local application, ideally with old-style compiled aplications. Truth, you have to go through the step of install the application locally on the desktop, but in return you have all the resources you need at the maximum speed that the hardware is capable, without lags caused by bad connections (connections available 100% of the time and gigabit speed only exist in the first world, not here) or bloatware caused by a crapload of hacks to turn HTML into a "desktop".
Let me see... At least for me, the big problem with the network transparency is that to get it working, the X server needs to follow a number of architectural decisions that are highly detrimental to the performance of a local desktop and you can not work around this without a lot of (broken or unstable) hacks. That said, how many users use the transparency and how many users needs an efficient local desktop? Why I should hurt the performance of the entire server to meet a situation that is used for only 2% of the total userbase?
I can't understand why network transparency is something SO important, especially when a lot of ugly hacks are necessary to make it work and compromising the performance of much more important parts like the presentation of local desktop.
In this case the K.I.S.S. car (not the K.I.T.T.) will simply stop and stay in place until the obstacle can be resolved. Or we can improve it and make it give passage to emergency vehicles if you have one behind him. As the Khasim said, keep simple.
You and other commentators have made me reach to the conclusion that the problem is actually deeper. Problem actually are lawyers, and we need to get rid of them as we were rid of a cancer.
Fact is that NO lawyer worth his retainer would agree with you.
Please... In my humble opinion every single lawyer needs to be shot on sight. To me their opinion is worthless, their opinion is always on the side of the highest bidder and they damn the truth and the facts. It's a criminal profession that exists only below in vileness to bankers. Your opinion is worth as an engineer, but please do not ask me to accept the opinion of a lawyer.
Trying to hide a serious problem that can cause deaths is even worse for the image of the company to admit that it has a product problems. It is high time to send these managers to hell and start doing things right for a change.
Well.. As a curiosity, soon we will have so many cars on the streets that everyone will not be able to transit anymore, then will have to walk as I:-) (but do not worry, I understand your point)
Never buy a car from GM. A company that practices this type of policy can not have my confidence in any way.

+10 Insightful to you, I have problems like you described all the time. And when I think that I managed to fix them, some bastard changes everything again just for the sake of changing and throws all my work down the drain.
"Lots of childish people waste their energy hating reality, leading them to resent anyone who is mature enough to spend that energy looking for better ways of dealing with reality. The contrast embarasses them. Since these small-minded people are resistant to change and growth, they perform variuos mental gymnastics to convince themselves this is your fault. After all, they could go on pretending that everyone agreed with them... until you came along."
This. And add the fact that many of those who speak to the camera are not even able to express their ideas in a coherent manner, even talking to a camera.

Spoke a manager from GM :-). I prefer companies that are open about their problems than companies that try to hide problems with "disguised words".

Me too. My theory is that people are becoming increasingly unable to read and understand what they are reading, then they are resorting to videos.
A protest needs "permission" to happen? this is a joke?
